Qatar Job Updates is a specialist recruitment and staffing firm with deep expertise in matching high-calibre professionals with leading organisations across Qatar and the wider GCC region. With a proven track record of placing top talent in diverse industries, Client is trusted by businesses of all sizes to identify, screen, and deliver candidates who bring real commercial value from day one.

We are currently recruiting a Sales Manager on behalf of one of its valued clients — a well-established organisation operating in Qatar’s dynamic commercial sector. This is a confidential mandate for a reputable employer with a strong market presence, competitive compensation structure, and a clear commitment to developing its senior sales leadership team.

If you are a results-driven sales professional with a proven track record of growing revenue, building high-performing teams, and developing meaningful client relationships, this is an exceptional opportunity to take the next step in your career within one of the Gulf’s most opportunity-rich markets.

As Sales Manager, you will occupy a pivotal leadership role within the organisation — directly responsible for driving top-line revenue growth, building and mentoring a high-performing sales team, and developing the strategic frameworks that convert market opportunities into sustained commercial success. You will report to senior management and operate with the authority and autonomy to make meaningful decisions that shape the direction of the sales function.

This role demands a rare combination of strategic vision and hands-on execution. You must be equally comfortable designing a six-month sales roadmap as you are coaching a junior sales representative through a complex client negotiation. The ideal candidate brings deep industry knowledge, a sharp commercial instinct, and the leadership gravitas to inspire a team and build lasting relationships with key accounts.

You will also be expected to work cross-functionally — collaborating with marketing, operations, and customer service teams to ensure that every client touchpoint reflects the organisation’s commitment to quality, reliability, and service excellence. Strong analytical skills, CRM proficiency, and experience in sales forecasting will be essential to success in this position.

• ▶ Recruit, manage, and mentor a team of sales representatives — setting clear KPIs, conducting regular performance reviews, and providing coaching to elevate team capability and output
• ▶ Identify, pursue, and convert new business opportunities through proactive prospecting, networking, and consultative selling techniques
• ▶ Build, maintain, and deepen relationships with existing and prospective clients to ensure long-term loyalty and repeat business
• ▶ Analyse market trends, competitor activities, and evolving customer feedback to continuously refine and adapt sales tactics and positioning
• ▶ Prepare accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual sales forecasts and budgets — reporting progress against targets to senior leadership with clear insights and action plans
• ▶ Collaborate with cross-functional teams including marketing, operations, and customer support to ensure seamless product delivery and a consistently excellent client experience
• ▶ Oversee CRM system management to ensure complete, up-to-date records of all client interactions, pipeline stages, and deal closures
